Hate to break it to you all, but they are really bad already. There is just a lot of standing water and mud which just creates a breeding ground. I usually don't get bit up too bad but this past weekend it was off the hook. Even driving down 395 we had so many bugs hit the windshield it sounded like it was raining!

And that area right around your cabin is one of the worst in the canyon for seepage and standing water. The worst chigger attack I ever suffered was when staying at Palisades. All the grass that grows around that area is prime for those pesky pest.

You got that right...yesterday morning I left a can of bug spray outside and when I went to pick it up there were two mosquitoes on the can!
